Hi all! New to the site, it kept popping up first on my google searches, so I figured this must be the place to be!
Anyway, I've recently downsized from a 55gal, to a 29 gal High (space limitations). I have been keeping Cichlids for a long time now, and would like to continue to do so (especially africans). Right now, I only have one large (5") Zebra in the tank. I plan on taking him to a local fish supplier who will trade him for some smaller fish. However, this 29 gal is rather small. Does anyone have any experience keeping African Cichlids in this type of tank? And if so, what species and how many?
Here are a couple pics I took today. This tank is still a work in progress, I am working on replacing the hood and improving the filtration system, but you can get the gist of what I am working with here. I feel I've provided some good hiding places (can't even see the big guy in the first pic), and I've worked on breaking up the sightlines from one side of the tank to the other.... Any pointers here? Should I keep building UP by stacking more rocks? Please excuse the poor picture quality and dirty glass, like I said, it's a work in progress! Any and all tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
